SKINNY MONKEY BREAD RECIPES

Steps:

• In a large bowl, combine the Steak Mixture ingredients just until uniform. Do not overmix. Shape into 6 patties and let rest for at least 10 minutes for breadcrumbs to absorb flavor.
• Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the Sauce Mixture ingredients.
• Add butter to the Instant Pot. Using the display panel select the SAUTÉ function.
• When butter melts, brown the steaks on both sides, 2-3 minutes per side. Meat may not be cooked through. Do not crowd the pot--you will have to work in batches. Transfer browned meat to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil.
• Add onions and mushrooms to the pot and Sauté until onions begin to soften, 3-4 minutes.
• Add sauce mixture to the pot and deglaze by using a wooden spoon to scrape the brown bits from the bottom of the pot.
• Layer the steaks back into to the pot on top of the vegetables.
• Turn the pot off by selecting CANCEL, then secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL or PRESSURE COOK function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 15 minutes.
• When the time is up, let the pressure naturally release for 15 minutes, then quick-release the remaining pressure.
• Carefully remove the steaks from the pot to a shallow dish and cover loosely with foil, reserving juices.
• In a small bowl, mix together cornstarch and cold water. Stir into the pot until thickened, returning to SAUTÉ mode as needed. Adjust seasonings.
• Serve the steak topped with gravy over noodles, spaghetti squash or mashed potatoes.

Steps:

• Poke 2 small holes in the bottom of each pepper with a thin knife or toothpick. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, combine all remaining ingredients except marinara sauce.
• Mound rice mixture into peppers. Do not pack tightly. Mixture should be slightly higher than top of pepper.
• Pour one cup of water in the Instant Pot and insert the steam rack.
• Place peppers onto rack and divide marinara sauce in the top center of each pepper.
• Secure the lid, making sure the vent is closed.
• Using the display panel select the MANUAL function*. Use the +/- keys and program the Instant Pot for 9 minutes.
• When the time is up, quick-release the pressure. Use a meat thermometer to ensure internal temperature is at least 160°F degrees.
• (Optional) Place peppers under the broiler for 3-5 minutes to crisp the tops.
• Carefully remove the peppers, garnish with additional chopped parsley and serve warm.
